Help - beef joint for tomorrow went out of date yesterday!

[ChristingleJingle]

We are a house full of Covid and have been really poorly with it and it took all my muster to do the online shop last week. Date for (sealed, obviously chilled) beef joint was yesterday....!

To eat it or not to eat it, that is the question...

It will be absolutely fine 😊

They dont it waiting for midnight and decide to go off.

Give it a sniff, it should smell inoffensive and not feel slimy to the touch

Does it smell ok? I'd cook it now, tonight, cook it well, then slice it down and slow cook it a little longer in gravy.

Don't worry, it'll be fine. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Does it smell? If not you’ll be grand

I would cook it tonight as I always figure if it’s cooked it can’t go off any further. I’m sure that’s not logical.

Sniff it! If good I would cook it now and reheat in gravy. If not, then I would be considering other options including a „do you remember when the beef went off and we only had side dishes to eat“ scenario …. Viel Glück

@gamerchick - our sense of smell is a little off par thanks to Le Covid

It’ll be fine. Don’t forget, places like Hawksmoor do steaks that have been hung for a couple of months.

It will absolutely fine

It'll be fine.

It will be fine.
21 day hung beef isn't going to turn that quickly. And if its in one of those vacuum sealed bags, it's not going to get exposed to anything nasty.

Enjoy your beef for dinner.

It'll be totally fine. Stick it onto Cook tonight. Enjoy!!

It will be fine , honestly! Enjoy and I hope you feel better soon

Thanks all, I should have added - I'm the veggie and having something different - just don't want to be responsible for poisoning DH and the DC on top of everything else ha ha
